The authors note that a revolution is happening in education due to demands related to learning, collaboration, and professional standards. They present factors needed to affect real change for school systems, such as:
· Arguing for the establishment of teaching as a true ‘profession’ alongside areas such as medicine or law.
· Identifying the expertise fundamental to meeting the demands of schools.
· Elaborating on evaluative thinking and clinical practice as the basis of this new profession.
Outlining core levers of change to show how teachers can have profound impacts on educational, medical, and social dimensions of students.
